We're about 1000 employees short in our large plants. Two companies that I'm talking about in the beef industry process about 85%, but if you go to Prince Edward Island, they're concerned there as well with island beef and maintaining the workforce there.
What happens is that we'll send some live cattle south as a result of that, but more often than not, it's product that you might further process into consumer-ready product. Rather than doing that, we're just exporting it as a bone-in product, because it takes less labour to export it either like that or as what's called a subprimal, a large cut, that you haven't made into products in consumer-sized portions. We'll export that rather than do the value-adding here. That happens on a regular basis.
This past fall, one of the companies said they had a choice: they could do the consumer portioning work at the plant or they could reduce the number of animals they were processing, because they'd have to take off one line. They don't have enough employees for both lines. That's a real problem that we're seeing today.
